60th (Victoria Rifles) Battalion, CEF

The “Vics” of Montreal was the junior battalion of the 9th
Brigade in April of 1917. After the battle of Vimy Ridge the survivors were
split up and absorbed by other battalions and the 116th (Ontario County
Infantry) Battalion took their position in the Brigade.

The figures in this battalion,
as with all the figures in the 9th Brigade, are from Brigade Games.
